This campground is as basic as it gets, besides just going out in the woods. It it mostly for scuba divers. This was a large rock quarry that has been filled with water for scuba diving. They have sunk a few neat things, like a bus, to make it interesting. I stayed here several times for my scuba certification. You basically just pitch a tent or pull your RV into the woods. No electric, no water besides at the main bath house. The biggest complaint is that in the middle of the night, there is a train that comes right through the middle of the campground, usually blaring its horn. It is very scary to be woken up by. The ground shakes and it feels like the train is going to run right over you. But, if you are there to scuba dive, you don't have much of a choice for places to stay. - justthe6ofus

Stayed here six nights last week of September - this is by far one of the best campgrounds we have stayed at this year. The campground was very clean and well maintained - no trash, no weeds, no ruts in roads. The bathrooms are the best I think I have ever seen - cleaned daily and plenty of hot water. Even with the campground just about full on the weekend, the staff kept up with the bathrooms. Plenty of activities for the kids as well. Would highly recommend. - dadseven

Stayed 4 nights to attend the Hershey RV show and Hershey Chocolate Factory. Follow the KOA sign, turn right, at junction N. Hanover & N. Market St. and avoid going thru town. Check-in confusing due to new work camper manning check-in. Owner/wife took care of situation and made it right. Family run CG with great customer service skills. CG is in a beautiful location in great shape, clean, mowed/fertilized grass, utilities and cable worked well. Garbage pickup onsite. Road leading up to registration is paved. Interior roads are easy to navigate with a 43' motorhome, gravel and well maintained. Our site was in a terraced area, PT FHU, gravel, with fire ring, picnic table and level in partial shade with good spacing. CG offers a free shuttle to RV show and Hershey factory with several morning and evening departures and pickups. Pool was closed for season. Did not use bath facilities but looked clean. Would stay here again rather than closer to Show or factory. - RTM

We stayed over Labor Day weekend in a 35 foot Class A. Extremely cleaned and well groomed landscaping. The staff takes great pride in maintaining the landscaping and grounds. Plenty of room in between each site. Bring a fishing rod - they have a pond out front with plenty of panfish and 10-12 inch bass. License not required since it is a private pond. - AeroDoc

This is place is a "residential RV camper park" - it is dirty, run down, ducks everywhere (and their droppings), the staff was not nice at all. There are many "permanent" sites that clearly people live in all year and they are deplorable. The swing sets were covered in rust and barely work, there is a bridge over the pond that is ready to sink any minute. Go anywhere else than this place. Not impressed, and will never return. - Lspajm

OMG. Talk about false advertising! A pool--yes but has been in disrepair and unusable for years. Miniature Golf- yes but the putting greens have more moss than carpet and weeds adorn the course. Clean restrooms-- ha ha ha ha. Talk about gross, smelly and out of date. Even the washing machines are dirty The sites are grass covered and with the recent rains the big rigs are leaving huge ruts in the ground. No wifi or cable. There is a huge area with dumped nonworking machines, yard waste and even a 911 Porsche ( please someone rescue and restore that car). On a positive note, the owner is nice and tried to be accommodating for us. There is also a new dog park. Other than that, nature is reclaiming this park. Such a shame. - Dinky1

This is an older park. The spaces were large with grass all around. Grass was well mowed. The park needs updating. The showers were clean but need improvements.Electricity was stronger than at a lot of parks. Quite a lot of seasonal campers. - Rkserv

Run down park capitalizing on it's excellent location. Almost impossible to level in a park like this. Had to disconnect water because there was so much air in their pipes. Everything is in a state of disrepair. The electricity worked! - Todd Fogelberg

Another year another stay at Hershey for Labor Day. As usual the campground is very nice and accommodating. Stayed in Site 1 again, this site has a great view of the campground; however the steep slope is a constant issue when trying to enjoy the outdoors at the site. Lucky for we stay with a large group and use their sites as the fire pit area. We attended a concert at Hershey Park Stadium during our stay and have to say that it was the most convenient concert venue we have ever attended. Shuttle from the campground dropped you right off at the entrance to Hershey Park Stadium, at the end of the event they had ample buses ready and took us back to the campground very quickly while others were tied up in traffic. I would highly recommend staying at Hershey Campground for a concert! - SJEAGLES609

Told the CG we were very long, site we were assigned left us hanging a foot out in the road each end. Park is very nice, but long hike to the restroom/pool/etc. My main complaint is value for the amount charged, other CG's we have stayed in comparable were under $60/night. Would not stay here again because of that. - Sibernut

This is a delightful $35/per night park - unfortunately, the price is just over twice that. The sites are snug. What it does have going for it is the connection with Chocolate World and the Hershey amusement park - there is a shuttle bus that takes you from here to the Hershey Parks. Nice pool area that we did not use - as you might expect, it is full of screaming kids during the summer (and probably doing other things in there besides screaming). The sites are narrow enough that you get plenty of smoke from the fires at nearly every site. In the heat. Not cooking anything. But, did I mention the very convenient shuttle bus? - DreamCaptn

Nice, smaller campground. Close to major highways and Hershey Park. Check in was easy and shown to our campsite by an employee, of which all were very friendly and courteous. Upgraded newer bathrooms and showers. We had a level, gravel, spacious site. No campstore, but you can purchase firewood. Pool area is very nice, which we enjoyed in between visiting Hershey. At this point I would have given them a score of 9 or 10. However, then it went downhill when Friday night came. No one followed the 5mph speed limit, almost everyone did well above that, it was a little scary since we had young granchildren with us. One truck even did a burn out in front of our site! And many campers cut thru our site and other campsites instead of walking on the paved roads. At first I thought it was a fluke because we were inside our camper the first time we saw it, but random people did it even when we were sitting outside; we have never experienced that before. If it would have been one person speeding or one particular camper that kept cutting thru our site, I would consider going back. But at this point I would not. - pokey

We stayed here several nights. Very convenient to the things we wanted to see. Park shady and clean. Close to the interstate, but noise didn't bother us at night. Had a beautiful swimming pool and friendly staff. - Marilynintexas

Lovely park with plenty of trees. The staff was wonderful and escorted to our site. The site was gravel, but the interior roads were paved and easy to navigate. There is a nice pool and playground, neither of which we used. Our welcome packet included directions to some of the nearby sites. We visited Hershey Chocolate World. - SoonerMom

My family and I have been at the Hershey campground several times. We have always enjoyed it and were very pleased, but we were very disappointed when we visited in May 2017, just a few weeks after the parked opened for the season. Many of the roads around the campground were not restoned and there were many holes throughout. Also, the bathhouse in the B loop was closed for renovation (which is great but why wasn't this done during the off season?). Also, the miniature gold course has a wonderful setting but needs improvement, as balls get stuck in some of the holes. While the campground itself is beautiful, there is much work to be done. - K Frame

Always a delight to visit here - think we've been here 5 weeks in last 2 years. Sites are clean, level and well-maintained. Many sites have nice shade. Staff are great and go out of their way for you. Wish they had cable TV, because OTA TV can be really bad (not the park's fault). WIFI only in the rec center, and it's usually not very good. Pool is great. Great outdoor recreation amenities, like horseshoes, tennis courts, kids playground, lake with canoes. Nice planned activities. - RamjetPA

This is a well maintained, clean park. Spaces are level with gravel surface and extra wide separation between sites. Road width was adequate to maneuver my 43 foot motorhome, but required care while turning. We were in H area with no extra charge for 50 Amp, other 50 Amp areas have $5/day surcharge. Wifi was non-existent but AT&T hotspot worked fine. Satellite worked well. Would stay her again. - westwill3

We made our reservation Sep 13, 2017 online for Thanksgiving 2017. The online reservation program and Pinch Ponds own website made no mention of water being turned off for winter. We thought we would have full hook-ups as stated on the reservation confirmation. Even when we arrived, the staff didn't mention that the water had been turned off. We didn't know there was no water until after the RV was leveled, slides were out and I went to hook up the water. I completely understand the need to turn off the water and winterize certain areas of campgrounds - that is certainly not the issue. The issue is that we were not notified ahead of time. The staff was able to run a hose to our site so that we could fill our tank. We made the best of it and didn't let it ruin our Thanksgiving. As far as the Campground goes, it has a mixture of seasonal and nonseasonal. Some of the seasonal sites are rundown and messy. Our site was sloped to driver's side and we had to put the wheels on blocks to get the auto level to work properly. Trash dumpster was overflowing. Office/store building was nice, but other buildings were run down and in need of repair. Most likely will not return due to inadequate communication from the staff, noise from I-76 and an adjoining shooting range (even Thanksgiving day, range was active). - Joe G1

We stayed here because it was between Hershey and Lancaster. The access was easy and the site was level. As mentioned before the next door shooting range was annoying but we would stay there again. - HaveDieselWillTravel

This is a nice family campground. The layout can be confusing due to the number of roads and the fact that there are 3-4 camping areas. There are many long-term campers and many campsites under construction. The upper pull-thru sites are very nice and reasonably level. The 'woods' sites are a bit tricky to access. The restroom near the office could use some updating. The showers are separate free-standing units separated by curtains only. The new restroom and shower area nearest the road is very nice but the showers themselves are not very spacious. The office/store is well-stocked. There are a lot of activities available for every age group. The roads could use some attention due to washed-out areas. There is plenty of shade for most campsites. It is relatively close to all the area attractions. It is close to the Pennsylvania Pike but there is little highway noise. Would return if we were in the area again. - grandma0942

I spent the weekend of 8/19-20/2017 at Pinchot State Park while doing volunteer trail work within the park. My site was level, power was good even through 2 major thunderstorms, one each night, bathrooms were clean and the rangers, camp hosts and volunteers were very nice to me. Verizon cell service was good, OTA antenna picked up 10 channels in and near Harrisburg. This is an older park but has been well maintained. - User3064

Despite the fact that the restrooms were clean, it is hard to make something inviting that is out of date and needs remodeling. Crowded on the weekends, like most camps in the summer. If you have a 30+ foot travel trailer, wouldn't recommend the inner loop (very tight for trailer and truck parking). Had to disconnect to make it fit. Stayed 3 nights and enjoyed our time, these are just minor things to know in advance. - Rob Oglesby

Restrooms very old and in dire need of remodeling, however they were clean. We stayed in pet area, only 10 spaces were full hookup, other than those there was electric only on the outer loop no hookup on inner loop. Was was over 300 feet away from our site. This campground is in need of updating. Kind of disappointing as in most Pennsylvania state parks that there are signs that prevent you from walking your dog around the campground. Can only walk them in the pet loop. That meant having to drive to different location to get to the lake.

Beautiful lake, nice day use facility. Due to weather we could only take kayaks on the lake for one day out of 4, Too much Wind and rain.

Never saw a ranger or state park personnel. There were two camp hosts. Plenty of trash cans by entrance to park, No recycle containers.

Due to limited water hookups and the pet restrictions, We will not go back to this campground. - doghouse traveler

Very small spots in F section. We we so close to camper next to us that we could smell their sewer. I should have taken it as a warning when the ranger ask me how many blocks we had with us when we got there. No level spots and no way we had enough blocking. Weeds even in flower beds taller than us. And shooting nearby all day all weekend. Picnic table at site was black from weather. We will not use this campground again. - Rshoster67

We stayed 2 nights for the Hershey RV show. Easy to get to from the interstate. It was a last minute decision so the park was very full. The extremely nice staff gentleman that met us at the gate and took us on a golf cart to all the site options that were still available to us was very helpful and kind. We picked a site that was easy to get in and out of. To be able to hook up to sewer we had to place our 5er so close to the side of the road that we were not able to extend our awning. The park needs lots of updating and maintenance. I did not go into the bathrooms or showers but my husband said I would not use them. Two of the showers were broke and in need of some serious cleaning. Our first night there we heard constant gun range shooting until past 8pm. There are quite a few of permanent sites and a few looked pretty "interesting" to say the least. The sites that had more privacy did not have sewer hook up but did have electric and water. Getting our RV in some of those sites with all the overhanging trees and tight turns would of been not worth the hassle for only 2 nights. I was grateful that we found a campsite on such short notice for the RV show but would not return there to camp again. - debwright

We just stayed here for the weekend and had a great experience. From the start the staff was very helpful. The check-in was a bit different then usual as they drove us around the park so we could pick our site. The gentlemen showed us about 10 sites and we finally settled on a site that we thought was great for our needs. The site was large and we had a lot of privacy. The bathrooms and showers were very clean which is always a big thing for us. There was a lot to do during our stay. We will definitely put this campground on our good list!!! - Rob and Tina
